List of Latin words with English derivatives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English (and other modern languages).
Note that ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words. See also Latin spelling and pronunciation.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
